Really great presentation to an interested and lively group!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing this!
She also had Haemphilia where your blood doesn't clot, some have iron deficiency which can make you pale. I have iron deficiency and don't go out in the sun often, so I'm the perfect shade of pale. I also work at an old folks home, I clean there and they tell me all the time about their bathroom troubles, even though I really don't need to know, so I would have fit in, in that time period.
Wonderful and insightful explanations!

What happened to/with property if women were widowed?
If I'm not mistaken, I believe it went to the closest male relative, likely a son. And if they didn't have a son it might go to one of the deceased's brothers or a male cousin.
Sometimes the widow was given the property, especially if it was stated in the will....however if she married again she lost the property to a male relative or her new husband.
...yes but this is very inhibiting for any would-be lothario in these times....makin' out would be a real problem

Blah Blah just like a corny PTA meeting!
So then tell me, Frances. Why'd you click on it?
Can I buy a vowel?
Why are all the Civil war reenacter women always old, fat and ugly with flat hair? None of these women EVER look like Scarlet but they wax on and on about Gone with the wind and always find a away to mention Scarlet :/
Why are you so focused on appearance? Aren't you here to learn about history
+lucy rosevelt Most, not all, but most women don't have that kind of money or time to waste.
Good question, a better question is why are you such an insensitive, uneducated, and rude clod?
Very few women in the 1860s would have looked like Scarlet O'Hara. Actually, none of them would, because she got to wear makeup and use hairspray and real 1860s women did not. But very, very few of them would have been young and pretty and fabulously dressed all the time. We're talking less than 1% of the population who were able to look like that, whereas pretty young fashionably dressed girls make up maybe 5-10% of the reenactor population.
We just like to mention Scarlet O'Hara because she's one of a few civil war era women (albeit a fictional one) whom almost everyone has heard about and who can paint a picture of the high fashion of the era.
Decrying the romanticised view of Southern society whilst whinging on about re-enactors not looking like anything like the romanticised caricature of a Southern society woman... The beautiful, delicious irony.
It's pitiable that you have nothing better to do with your time and insight than call people who've done you no harm "trash" on the internet.
